CONNECTED CALL

Introduction

Hello, my name is__________________, I am calling from Alamo on behalf of CDC
NVEST Funds concerning recent proxy materials that were sent to you. May I
please speak to ________________? We apologize for calling you at a time that
may be viewed by some to be inappropriate. As you are probably aware, the
President, the financial industry and government officials have encouraged
everyone to resume normal business activities this week to minimize the economic
impact of the recent tragedies.

To assure accuracy this call is being recorded.

I am calling to let you know that a shareholder meeting will be held on
September 28th to vote on important proposals for the CDC Nvest Income Funds (or
CDC Money Market Funds). That date is quickly approaching and every vote counts.
If it is convenient for you, I can record your vote over the telephone right
now. Is it convenient?

May I please have your name?

Have your received your package containing the proxy materials?

May I please have your address?

And finally the last 4 digits of your social security number?

Are you familiar with the proposals? May I assist you with any questions?

The Board of Trustees recommends that the shareholders of the funds vote in
favor of all of the proposals. Would you like to vote in favor of the proposals
as the Board recommends?

Your vote has been recorded. You have voted________________, is that correct?

In the next 72 hours a confirmation will be mailed to you. Thank you for your
time.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

WHY DID I RECEIVE THIS MATERIAL?

Trust - CDC Nvest Tax Exempt Money Market Trust) is holding a shareholder
meeting on September 28th. As a shareowner in the Fund, you have the opportunity
to voice your opinion on this matter.

WHO CAN VOTE ON A SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL?
Persons who hold shares in a fund as of its "record date" are entitled to vote.
The record date was July 31, 2001.

WHAT IS A SHAREHOLDER MEETING?
A shareholder meeting is an opportunity for a mutual fund's shareholders to
evaluate and vote on proposed actions by the fund. As a practical matter, most
shareholders do not physically attend a shareholder meeting.

WHEN AND WHERE IS THE SHAREHOLDER MEETING?
The shareholder meeting will be held at 2:00p.m. on September 28, 2001 at the
offices of CDC IXIS Asset Management Distributors, L.P., at 399 Boylston Street,
10th floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02116.

WHAT IS A PROXY STATEMENT?
A proxy statement is a document that the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) requires mutual funds to send to their shareholders to present proposals
and provide material facts about issues on which shareholders will vote. Mutual
funds are required to obtain shareholder votes before making certain kinds of
changes. Those proposed changes are described in the proxy statement.

-CDC Nvest Funds Trust I/CDC Nvest Funds Trust II

WHY DOES A SHAREHOLDER RECEIVE PROXY MATERIALS?
A shareholder receives proxy materials, a booklet that includes the proxy
statement and one or more proxy cards-because, as the owner of the fund shares,
he or she has a right to vote on important proposals concerning the fund.

HOW DOES MY FUND'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES WANT ME TO VOTE?
The Board of Trustees recommends that the shareholders of the funds vote in
favor of the proposals.

WHY SHOULD I BOTHER TO VOTE?
Your vote makes a difference. If shareholders like you fail to vote their
proxies, your fund may not receive enough votes to go forward with its meeting.
If this happens, we'll have to mail proxies again - a costly proposition.

HOW DO I VOTE?
If you choose not to vote now over the phone, you may vote in any one of four
ways:
-By  Touch-tone  Telephone.  Just call the toll-free  number given on your proxy
card and  follow  the  instructions  to  record  your  vote.  Toll  free  number
1-800-597-7836



-By Internet.  Just follow the  instructions  on our proxy card and vote online.
HTTPS://VOTE.PROXY-DIRECT.COM
-By Mail. Complete the proxy card and mail it back in the postage-paid envelope.
-In  Person.  Cast  your  vote at  your  fund's shareholder meeting.

HOW DO I VOTE BY TELEPHONE?
You need to use a touch-tone phone (not a dial phone). Then simply: Have your
proxy card ready. Dial the toll-free number listed on your card. 1-800-597-7836
Enter the control number found on the card.
Follow the instructions you'll be given.

HOW DO I VOTE ON THE INTERNET?
Have your proxy card ready.
Click on to the site provided on your proxy card. HTTPS://VOTE.PROXY-DIRECT.COM
Enter the control number found on your proxy card. Follow the instructions on
our computer screen.

WHEN IS THE DEADLINE FOR RETURNING MY PROXY VOTE?
You should vote your proxy as soon as possible to make sure your fund receives
enough votes to act on the proposals. If your fund doesn't receive enough votes,
we'll have to solicit votes again. Shareholder proxy votes may be submitted
until the day before each meeting. In addition, shareholders may vote in person
at the meetings.

HOW DO I FILL OUT THE PROXY CARD?
The proxy card lists all the proposals being considered. Next to each one are
boxes allowing you to vote For, Against, or to Abstain. Please review the proxy
statement before deciding how you wish to vote. Then check one of the boxes next
to each proposal. Once you have made your choice, sign your proxy card and
return it in the postage-paid envelope provided.

SHOULD I SEND IN THE CARD AND VOTE BY  TELEPHONE/INTERNET  TOO?
No. Use just one method to vote.  The only  reason to vote  again  would be to
change  your prior vote.

WHY DID I RECEIVE DIFFERENT PROXY CARDS?
If your shares are registered differently and are in more than one account, you
will receive more than one card. Be sure to vote all of your accounts to ensure
that all of your shares are voted.

CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE?
You may revoke your proxy and change your vote. Your last vote will be the one
counted.

IS MY VOTE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL?
Proxies and voting tabulation identifying shareholders are kept confidential by
the Fund and will not be disclosed except as may be necessary to meet legal
requirements.
